3.6 Spellings from the Spanish novel word spelling task

In the pre-test spelling task 5.01% of all inconsistent items (words with two possible spellings) were misspelled due to either leaving out or misspelling the first and hence, target phoneme. In cases where participants left out or misspelled a target sound (e.g., wrote ‘chuñe’ pronounced as //, instead of ‘yuñe’ or ‘lluñe’ for the item //) their preferred spellings were inferred from the correct spellings of both the filler words and other target items starting with the same syllable. Specifically, for each misspelled item we looked at how all the other words starting with the same syllable were spelled and the syllable used most of the times was chosen as the preferred one.

In both Tables ?? and ?? numbers in red indicate novel words whose spellings had to be inferred from the other novel word starting with the same syllable. Numbers between brackets represent the preferred spellings after correcting for misspellings.
